# AWS Integrations

If your organization uses Amazon Web Services (AWS) as a cloud platform, Apono's AWS integrations can help you securely manage access to your AWS cloud-based services and databases.

By identifying and transforming existing privileges, Apono can shift your cloud management from broad permissions to on-demand access flows.

Through our AWS integrations, Apono enables you to perform the following access tasks:

* **Limit Access:** Discover existing cloud privileges and convert them to just-in-time access flows.
* **Enable Self-Service Access:** Allow developers to request access to AWS services, buckets, and instances via Slack.
* **Automate Approval Workflows:** Create automatic approval processes for sensitive AWS resources.
* **Restrict Third-Party Access:** Grant third-parties (customers or vendors) time-based access to specific S3 buckets, RDS, or EC2 instances with MFA verification.
* **Review Access:** Audit user cloud access, permissions granted, and reasons for access across AWS.
